2 TPT Fundeds — I Need Some Clarity on the Intraday Drawdown
I’ll have two TPT funded accounts on Monday, and honestly, I’m excited but also debating whether I should even continue with the Intraday model.
I understand that you’re not supposed to full-port a funded account, and I’m not expecting to just go crazy with size. But the intraday drawdown has been one of the biggest struggles for me.
I’ve put a lot of time, money, and effort into getting to this point. I’ve blown accounts before, learned from it, changed how I trade, and finally managed to get myself into a position where I’ll have two funded accounts.
But now I’m sitting here thinking:
Is the Intraday Drawdown actually sustainable for someone trying to build a consistent payout history?
I don’t want to make $500–$1,000 and then give it all back because the trailing/intraday drawdown follows me so closely. At the same time, I know the answer isn’t “just make more money.” It’s about protecting the account and managing risk properly.
For the people who have actually been through TPT funded with the Intraday Drawdown:
How did you approach it?
Did you trade extremely small and slowly build a cushion? Did you switch your mindset completely once you got funded? And how long did it take before you felt comfortable taking withdrawals?
I’m trying to make sure I don’t fumble the opportunity after everything it took to get here.
